Long Islanders have split feelings about former President Donald Trump’s appearance in Nassau County. Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump ralliers alike heckled one another outside of the Republican presidential candidate’s rally at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday — but despite tensions, no arrests were made.
Nassau County Democratic Party leaders kicked off the opposition protests with a group of current and former lawmakers rallying their party faithful seven hours before Trump took the stage. Nearby, the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association (PBA), the union that represents the department’s rank-and-file officers, led a pro-Trump tailgate party.
